Nikki used the calculations shown to determine whether a carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy. A carton of 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39. Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy.

What was her first error?

A. She should have divided the cost of the carton by the number of eggs to find the price per egg.
B. She should have divided the number of eggs by the cost of the carton to find the price per egg.
C. She made a computational error when multiplying to find the unit price of the two cartons.
D She made an error in choosing the eggs with the lower unit cost to be the better buy.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the unit cost, you have to always divide by what you want to isolate. Since she wants to figure out the better buy, she has to divide by the number of eggs.

∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.

step-by-step explanation:

given, a ∥ b and ∠1 ≅ ∠3 .we have to prove that e ∥ f

we know that ∠1≅∠3 and that a || b because they are given. we see that by the alternate exterior angles theorem. therefore, ∠2≅∠3 by the transitive property. so, we can conclude that e || f by the converse alternate exterior angles theorem.

we have to fill the missing statement.

transitivity property states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.

now, given ∠1≅∠3 and by transitivity property ∠2≅∠3 .

hence, to apply transitivity property one angle must be common which is not in result after applying this property which is ∠1.

the only options in which ∠1 is present are ∠1 and ∠2, ∠1 and ∠4

∠1 and ∠4 is not possible ∵ after applying transitivity we didn't get ∠4.

hence, the missing statement is ∠1≅∠2.

so, ∠1≅∠2 by the alternate exterior angles theorem.
